Very good customer service' very helpful. They will return your telephone call if busy ASAP. Only previous problem is in duplicating paperwork, when the cruise line have already got the information they ask for it again instead of checking all is in order with the cruise company.

Another happy customer !

My enquiry was handled quickly and efficiently. When I called back to confirm my interest and Emily was engaged on another call, she called me back shortly thereafter as promised. All my questions were answered during the process and my available Cruise Miles were credited against the order !

Overview

Punctuated by colourful cities and tranquil days at sea, the highlight of this voyage is no doubt cruising the beautiful Milford and Doubtful Sounds. Home to a wide range of sea life this remote, untouched region creates an unforgettable journey for both the experienced and the uninitiated. Anyone looking to visit a place unmarked by the passage of time will be spoilt its breathtaking beauty.

Day 1

Day 2

Eden, Australia

03 Feb 2019

Today, Eden is flourishing with a large commercial fishing fleet based at its port. The Heinz tuna cannery and a timber mill are the leading industries, with the tourist industry becoming increasingly important. The town still remains a minor population center. Venues are limited, but the people of Eden are welcoming and eager to provide visitors with a valuable experience.

Day 9

Stewart Island, New Zealand

10 Feb 2019

Located some 20 miles from the mainland, and separated from South Island by the Foveaux Strait, the island's attractions lie in its virtually untouched beauty and unhurried pace. There are few cars, few roads and little tourist development. You could say that Stewart Island is less a destination than a way of life.

Day 10

Dunedin (from Port Chalmer), New Zealand

11 Feb 2019

Known for its unique fusion of Scottish and Maori heritage, vibrant Dunedin is the second largest city of New Zealand’s South Island.

Day 12

Picton, New Zealand

13 Feb 2019

Only a narrow stretch of water separates North and South Island, but the differences between the two entities could not be more obvious - South Island with its wild beauty contrasting sharply with the more sedate landscapes of North Island.

Tauranga, New Zealand

Day 16

Auckland, New Zealand

17 Feb 2019

Stretched over a volcanic field on New Zealand's North Island is multicultural Auckland. The country's largest city, this thriving hub offers everything you would expect.
